So I bought the Varrstoen 19/9.5/+22 and 19/10.5/+22 setup...

I've seen the (Before Tdog rips my a** for not searching) 18 inch Varrstoens sit on the 300zx with nothing but 1.5 inch drops..

And I've seen Steven's 300 - but dunno how to get in contact with him or if he still posts..
(We're actually from the same area)

My question is... You guys think I'd be able to make his exact tire/rim setup work with just Megan coilovers, and rear camber arms?

Think I can get away with not rolling my fenders? Not sure if he did or not...
I suck at suspension/wheels. A lot.

Will def need a roll on front and rear.

McLarenF1Kid posts more on 3ZC. He did a ton of work on his fenders to get his absurd wheels to fit.

2nd Steven's fitment has required alot of work to fit it with pulled/rolled fenders along with camber. We aren't talking just a slight pull either.

You have a TT, it will be alot easier to fit these on the rear. Btw you need front camber arms and def tension rods

All fenders rolled, no pulls here
19x9.5 +4 19x10.5 +15
235/35/19 2* camber
265/30/19 3* camber

I appreciate the input guys, sorry for the un-speedy response, being in afghanistan and all - pretty much got the 3 members I was looking forward to responding...

So a list for all of the suspension parts I'm going to need??
Just all new tension rods and front camber arms?

Again, please keep in mind that I suck at wheels - so if you start going into degrees and the differences in rolls and pulls I probably will just act like I understand rather than admitting I don't.
I have a friend who offered to heat up the fender, and do a slight roll if need be...

Should I go ahead and buy some 20mm spacers for the front or will they look alright without?

Thankyou guys for all the help in advance!!
:monkey:

PS. Can I get some links for all the suspension parts I'm going to need besides coilovers?
And how exactly does rucus effect wheel fitment??

fuca's and ruca's adjust the camber

Parts you need at minimum
fuca's aka Adjustable Front Camber Arms
ruca's aka Adjustable Rear Camber Arms
& adjustable front tension rods

This page http://www.powertrix.com/agoracart55/ag ... Suspension has all those parts listed, you dont need to buy from this vendor as there are many, but to give you an idea. This vendor and SPL however are very good, I opted to go a tad cheaper with Wicked ruca's and tension rods, but have SPL fuca's. I suggest staying with the +22 and not run a spacer, you will prob like where it sits at that offset for now, also get all your fenders rolled as well as figuring out what tire sizes you want. Adjusting the camber arms will bring it closer to the fender or away, depending which way you adjust them. I suggest an alighnment after install though.
